12/21, Somers, Hutton Rd. In a mixed flock of about 80-100 birds, mostly HORNED LARKS, were at least 5 SNOW BUNTINGS and 1 LAPLAND LONGSPUR. Ther birds were almost in constant motion so an accurate count was impossible. They are a hardy group, those birds, feeding in the corn stubble in gusty wind and blowing snow.
Ellington, Meadow Brook Rd., I was looking for rough-legged hawks in some open farm country when I spotted an adult BALD EAGLE sitting in a tree. No rough-leggeds.
